Using 663-tin bronze, Ni, W, nanoAl2O3, MoS2, graphite, CaF2, and Ni coated graphite as the matrix alloy powder, in which copper-coated carbon fiber of 5%, 7%, 9%, 11% and 13% in volume fraction were added as the reinforcing phase, a novel type carbon fiber/copper-matrix self-lubricating composite materials was prepared by means of powder metallurgy. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the composite materials are improved after adding copper-coated carbon fibers. The composite materials reach optimal overall mechanical performance under testing when the volume fraction of the added copper-coated carbon fibers is 11%.: with a hardness of 57.8 HV and a compressive strength of 222 MPa. The addition of carbon fiber also improved the friction and wear properties of the composite materials. Increasing the volume fraction of fiber, was found to increase the wear resistance and improve self-lubricating performance. A volume fraction of 11% gave a friction coefficient of 0.09 and abrasion loss of 4mg.

The aim of this paper is to develop a kind of copper matrix self-lubricious material with excellent friction and wear characteristics. The copper-graphite composites reinforced with short copper-coated carbon fibers (CF-C/Cu) were successfully developed using techniques of mechanical alloying, composite plating and hot press vacuum sintering. For comparison, copper-graphite composites without short copper-coated carbon fibers (C/Cu) were made under the same process. The wear testing was carried out using a rapid wear testing machine (M-200).Friction coefficient was measured by a micro-wear tester (UMT).The microstructure, abrasive dust and worn surface of the wear pins on the different condition such as load and wear time were examined by SEM. It was noted that the addition of copper-coated carbon fiber in the Cu-based composites can retard the transformation process which transforms from micro-cutting wear to adhesive wear and delamination. The abrasion loss of the composites with short copper-coated carbon fibers appeared a valley when the load increased from 10N to 30N. It showed that the addition of copper-coated carbon fiber enhanced the anti-friction and anti-wear property of copper matrix composite and better than the sample without carbon fibers.

AZ91D alloy matrix composites(MMCs) with volume fraction of 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% were prepared with the preform made of crystallized aluminum silicate short fibers as reinforcement and aluminum phosphate as binder by squeezing casting at high temperature. Dry sliding wear properties of the composites were tested by means of MM200 wear tester (block-on-ring configuration) against a hardened alloy steel counterface with hardness of 53HRC under loads of 10N, 20N, 30N, 40N and 50N and sliding speed of 0.47m/s and 0.92 m/ s, and wear morphology of the specimens was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope). The results reveal that effects of sliding speed on wear rate of the composites are greater and more complex than on those of the AZ91D matrix alloy, which is closely related to not only volume fraction in the composites but also applied loads.

Copper-matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles are prepared by mechanical alloying. The microstructure characteristics, relative density, hardness, tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and wear properties of the composites are investigated in this paper. The results indicate that the relative density, macro-hardness and mechanical properties of composites are improved by modifying the surface of SiC particles with Cu and Ni . The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of composites, however, are not obviously improved. For a given volume fraction of SiC , the Cu / SiC ( Ni ) has higher mechanical properties than Cu / SiC ( Cu ). The wear resistance of the composites are improved by the addition of SiC . The composites with optimized interface have lower wear rate.

In this work, we report the carbon fiber-based wire-type asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). The highly conductive carbon fibers were prepared by the carbonized and graphitized process using the polyimide (PI) as a carbon fiber precursor. To assemble the ASC device, the CoMnO2-coated and Fe2O3-coated carbon fibers were used as the cathode and the anode materials, respectively. FE-SEM analysis confirmed that the CoMnO2-coated carbon fiber electrode exhibited the porous hierarchical interconnected nanosheet structures, depending on the added amounts of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidizing agent, and Fe2O3-coated carbon fiber electrode showed a uniform distribution of porous Fe2O3 nanorods over the surface of carbon fibers. The nanostructured CoMnO2 were directly deposited onto carbon fibers by a chemical oxidation route without high temperature treatments. In particular, the electrochemical properties of the CoMnO2-coated carbon fiber with the concentration of 6 mmol APS presented the enhanced electrochemical activity, probably due to its porous morphologies and good conductivity. Further, to reduce the interfacial contact resistance as well as improve the adhesion between transition metal nanostructures and carbon fibers, the carbon fibers were pre-coated with the Ni layer as a seed layer using an electrochemical deposition method. The fabricated ASC device delivered a specific capacitance of 221 F g-1 at 0.7 A g-1 and good rate capability of 34.8% at 4.9 A g-1. Moreover, the wire-type device displayed the superior energy density of 60.16 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 490 W kg-1 and excellent capacitance retention of 95% up to 3,000 charge/discharge cycles.

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the bending, buckling, and free vibration of the chopped carbon fiber/graphene nanoplatelet reinforced polymer hybrid composite plates. Both rectangular and circular composite plates are considered. The effective material properties of the chopped carbon fiber /graphene nanoplatelet reinforced hybrid composites are predicted using a multistep micromechanical model based on the Halpin–Tsai homogenization scheme. An inclusive microstructural assessment is accomplished by the evaluation of the influences of the volume fraction, length, thickness, and agglomeration of graphene nanoplatelets as well as the volume fraction, aspect ratio, and the alignment of the chopped carbon fibers on the mechanical behaviors of the chopped carbon fiber/graphene nanoplatelet hybrid composite plates. It is found that the bending, buckling, and vibration characteristics of hybrid composite structures are highly affected by the microstructural features. The addition of graphene nanoplatelets improves the stability of the chopped fiber-reinforced hybrid composite structures. The agglomeration of the graphene nanoplatelet into the polymer matrix leads to a degradation in the composite plate mechanical performances. Aligning the chopped carbon fibers significantly decreases the deflections, and increases the critical buckling loads and the natural frequencies of hybrid composite plates. Comparisons are conducted with the numerical results reported in literature that indicate good agreement with our results.

This paper aims to study the effect of different surface coatings of carbon fiber on the thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of carbon fiber reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) composites. To this end, unsized and different surface-coated carbon fibers were used. Prepared poly(phenylene sulfide)/carbon fiber composites were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile test, dynamic mechanical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Tensile strength values of the surfaced-coated carbon fibers reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) composites are higher than the unsized carbon fiber reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) composite. The highest tensile strength and modulus values were observed for the polyurethane-coated carbon fiber reinforcement. Dynamic mechanical analysis studies indicated that polyurethane-coated carbon fiber reinforced composite exhibited higher storage modulus and better adhesion than the others. Differential scanning calorimetry results show that melting and glass transition temperature of the composites did not change significantly. Scanning electron microscopic studies showed that polyurethane and epoxy-coated carbon fibers exhibited better adhesion with poly(phenylene sulfide).

The Impact

In this research, three kinds of carbon fiber (CF) with lengths of 1, 3, and 25 mm were prepared for processing composite. The effect of submicron glass fiber addition (sGF) on mechanical properties of composites with different CF lengths was investigated and compared throughout static tests (i.e., bending, tensile, and impact), as well as the tension-tension fatigue test. The strengths of composites increased with the increase of CF length. However, there was a significant improvement when the fiber length changed from 1 to 3 mm. The mechanical performance of 3 and 25 mm was almost the same when having an equal volume fraction, except for the impact resistance. Comparing the static strengths when varying the sGF content, an improvement of bending strength was confirmed when sGF was added into 1 mm composite due to toughened matrix. However, when longer fiber was used and fiber concentration was high, mechanical properties of composite were almost dependent on the CF. Therefore, the modification effect of matrix due to sGF addition disappeared. In contrast to the static strengths, the fatigue durability of composites increased proportionally to the content of glass fiber in the matrix, regardless to CF length.

Matrix Reinforcement

Considering aeronautics requirements, academies and industries are developing matrixes and reinforcements with higher mechanical performance. The same occurs with the process where new studies focus on obtaining composites with suitable matrix/reinforcement interface. The use of epoxy resin and carbon fiber with high mechanical performance does not guarantee a composite with high mechanical properties, considering imperfections and void formation along the laminate in case of inappropriate processing parameters. The aim of this article was to analyze and quantify the mechanical behavior of polymer composite reinforced with continuous fibers using finite element methodology and postprocessing software simulation. In addition, the classical laminate theory and finite elements were used to simulate flexural and tensile tests of composite specimens. Simulation results were compared with experimental test results using a carbon fiber noncrimp fabric quadriaxial/epoxy resin composite processed by resin transfer molding. Although void volume fraction for structural materials presenting results under aeronautics requirements regarding of 2%, imperfections like lack of resin and impregnation discontinuity showed an influence in tensile and flexural experimental results. Experimental mechanical behavior decreased 10% of strength, in comparison with simulation results due to imperfection on impregnation measured by C-Scan map. Improvement in processing procedures could able to provide greater impregnation continuity, reducing defect formation and ensuring better matrix/reinforcement interface. As a final conclusion, the process plays a role as important as the characteristics of reinforcement and matrix and, consequently, the mechanical properties.
